Remote solving workflow (Linux)

The following steps summarize the overall process to prepare a job for solving on a remote Linux system (computer or cluster), and to retrieve and post-process the results on a local Windows system.

The following standalone solvers must be installed on the remote Linux system:

• The pre-solver for Simcenter 3D Noise and Vibration, Model and Load Pre-processing solutions, or meta-solution processes, such as Principal Component, Load Identification, and so on.

• The solver for Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics solutions.

If the solver is not already installed:

1. Contact Customer Support for information on how to download it.

2. For the pre-solver, use the Installation of Acoustics BEM Solvers and PreSolver user manual to install the solver.

Step	Summary	Detailed help topic
1.	Set up model	Set up a Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics solution for a solve with the standalone solver, and Simcenter 3D Noise and Vibration, Model and Load Pre-processing solution, or meta-solution process, such as Principal Component, Load Identification, and so on, for a solve with the pre-solver.	For the Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics solution:Ray Acoustics workflow (see step 1 through step Define the solver parameters)For the Principal Component meta-solution process:PCA workflow (see step 1 through step Define the solver parameters)
2.	Edit solver parameters	Edit solver parameters to specify path and file name of the Solver Script Location or Solver Location, and path of the Solver Temporary Directory that typically reside on the remote Linux system. Also, set Target Operating System Family to Unix and specify parallel processing options.Note: You can specify the Solver Temporary Directory for all solutions except for Simcenter 3D Ray Acoustics.
3.	Request solver input file	Select Write Solver Input File in the Solve, Model and Load Pre-processing Solve, or Export and Solve dialog box to only create an input file without performing a solve.
4.	Transfer input file	Manually transfer file to the remote Linux system where the solver is installed.
5.	Solve solution	Execute the solver script on the Linux system. If the Linux system is a cluster, create and execute a job with a resource manager and job scheduler.Note: The following resource managers are supported: Platform LSF, PBS Professional, OpenPBS, Torque, LoadLeveler, and Grid Engine.
6.	Transfer result file	Manually transfer the Simcenter 3D SC_H5 File (*.sc_h5) in HDF5 format to the local Windows system.
7.	Associate result file with solution	On the local Windows system, associate the result file with the existing solution through Simulation Navigator functionality.	Associating solver output with a solution
8.	Post-process results	Use post-processing tools, such as contour plots or XY graphing to analyze your results. Use Post-processing Scenario or Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator to display your output.	Scenario-based post-processingCreate contour plots
